Congrats to Joss for getting his nod for the online series Dr Horrible.
You know, for once, I have very little issue with this list. My only Gripe is that Dr Who should be on there, especially for the series 4 finale.
Wait a minute. Speed racer? And no Dark Knight? Weird.
Have you seen Speed Racer? It deserves a spot for its avant-garde craziness if nothing else. I’m sure The Dark Knight is the greatest action movie ever made or something like that, but Speed Racer is off in a bizarre class of its own.
Speed Racer….. Have they lost there minds???!??!?!?
I’d have to say the season four finale of Dr Who is what kept it off the list!
If they were putting British shows on there I’d assume there would be a lot on the list. It looks like they were sticking to American shows.
